Small town hotel, all the basic things one is interested in during a short business trip - free internet, on-site restaurant, sizeable rooms. comfortable beds, easy climate control. Noise carries a bit of neighbouring rooms.

Very old looking inside - needs serious work - bathroom looked very 80's.
Dirty - hairs on the toilet seat and in the shower.
Leaking toilet, which when i informed them at checkout - didnt seem to care.
Old bedspread, old furniture.
Aircon worked at least.

This place looks like it was built in the mid-90s and probably hasn't had much of a clean or upgrade since then. Grotty rooms and bathrooms. Despite the hotel being half empty, I was put in a room next to the motorway so spent the night wide awake while trucks rumbled by.

Stayed here for business, was clean and comfortable. Bathroom was a bit old as expected. Can hear the roaring trucks coming down from the highway. Service was good. Overall a comfortable stay and would consider staying here again in the future. Free wifi was a bonus

I will start by saying you do get what you pay for although we were after budget accomodation. So not expecting a lot for a $149 a night last minute booking we were pleasantly surprised. Check in took only 30 seconds and the guy was super friendly, we got an upstairs room (next time downstairs would be better but not...

Whilst it is not the newest motel, it is an excellent relatively modern designed motel in a good location - handy to most things in the city. The facilities were of a good standard, the room was spacious, warm and inviting as well as of good quality. We enjoyed our stay in the motel and would recommend it to anyone.

Had a standard room for four nights. Room was clean, and spacious. It included a two seater lounge suit and small table and chairs for in-room dining. There is also a small sink for washing dishes which was handy. Good security with swipe card entrance into the building and rooms.
The motel has an internal atrium with swimming pool which...

Stayed here on our anniversary. Got one of the Executive Rooms which was at the back of the hotel and quite large. Only thing was, the "back" of the hotel was actually facing the main road through town. The room was double glazed but you could still occasionally hear the exhaust brakes of trucks. Not a big deal though.

We received a warm and cheerful greeting and went to rest in our Standard room. Everything was ready, clean and in order. The motel is close to food shopping. There is a restaurant onsite, as well as a fast food outlet and other hotel options close by. There is a pleasant central courtyard with a pool and spa. Our room...

I'm lying in my room now reading through the reviews.
When we first arrived the building and reception was nice and staff were friendly.
When we got into our room it did have a strange smell and so did my parents and sisters room as well.
The carpet was dirty with crumbs and stains and also I noticed on the...
